Chapter 17: I'm Late
BPOV
After Rosalie and Alice left, I went up to Edwards bedroom and flopped down on his couch and was absentmindedly skimming through the channels on his TV. I couldn't stop thinking about what Alice and Rose had told me.
I could only hope that they were not joking about me and Edward not being together physically. I hated that I couldn't remember for myself. I was so busy in my own thoughts that I didn't even hear Edward enter the room.
I jumped when Edward suddenly clapped his hands in front of my face.
"What the hell were you thinking about so hard?" Edward asked. "I was talking to you and you were off in La La Land."
"Just thinking." I mumbled.
"I noticed. Try not to hurt yourself." Edward laughed.
"Such an ass." I grumbled.
"Well, we have the whole house to ourselves. What do you want to do?" He said wiggling his eyebrows.
"Nothing with you." I stated.
"Oh, come on." He said putting his hands on the back of the couch next to my head and hovered above me. "You know you want to do something with me."
"I would love to. But I'm not on any birth control right now." I said then wished I kind of hadn't had.
"Why?' He asked.
"Oh, you know…it goes by your period…"
I was cut off by Edward pushing himself back off the couch and throwing himself on the bed while plugging his ears and chanting, "La la la. As soon I hear the word period my brain malfunctions." I couldn't help but laugh at him.
"Fine then, no real fun." He mumbled something about me being boring. "Let's go watch a movie in the living room." He pulled me off the couch before I had a chance to answer him.
I followed him down into the living room and settled onto one of the couches while Edward put in a random movie. After he started the movie he settled on the couch right next to me, even though there were plenty of other places to sit.
I must have fallen asleep right after the movie started because I was awoken by bright flashes. I opened my eyes to find I was laying on Edward and his arms where wrapped around me while he also slept and Renee and Esme were taking our picture.
"Mom, what the hell are you doing?" I asked groggy.
"You two looked so cute we couldn't resist." Esme answered.
"Yeah, plus your going to want these pictures to show your children someday." Renee added.
"Why would I want to show my kids pictures of me with a guy who's not there father?" I asked. Edward squeezed me tighter as he moved a little.
They both just giggled and walked out of the room.
"Ignore them. I think there both a little crazy." Edward said. "Let's go finish this little cuddle session in my room."
We both jumped when someone cleared there throat from across the room. Charlie was sitting in the chair across from us. He was glairing at Edward.
"Oh, um…hello, Mr. Swan." Edward mumbled nervously.
"Edward." Charlie answered.
"I was just heading up to my room to go to bed."
"Alone." Charlie growled.
"Yes, sir." Edward practically ran up the stairs.
Charlie and I both started laughing as we heard Edward's door shut. "He's too easy to mess with." Charlie laughed.
"Tell me about it." I agreed.
"You know Esme and your mother already have your whole wedding planned out right?"
"My wedding to whom?" I questioned confused.
"Cuddle boy, of course."
I rolled my eyes. "I am not marrying Edward." I scoffed.
"Mmhmm"
"Whatever dad. I'm going to bed." I said as I stood up from the couch.
"Alone." He growled.
"Sorry, but that doesn't work on me, dad." I laughed.
"I remember the days when it used to." Charlie reminisced. "You can't blame and old man for trying."
"I am going to sleep in Jasper's room anyways. Goodnight, dad." I said and gave him a kiss on the top of his head.
"Goodnight, sweetheart."
The rest of the weekend went by quickly. Edward kept his hands to himself. He was scared shitless of my father. I didn't understand it but most guys feared Charlie. I found him funny as he was glaring people down.
I managed to keep my secret to myself even though I was so tempted to tell Edward just to watch his reaction. I needed to make sure Rose and Alice were right before I did anything more. I felt kind of bad for planning on making Edward squirm for a little bit, but after the month of worrying I have had, it was only fair.
After we got back onto campus I went to my room and flopped down on the bed sighing a huge sigh of relief. I finally got my period after I took four pregnancy tests, all turning out negative. Taking four might have been a bit much but hell, I'm nineteen and I was scared out of my mind. I say better to go over board then to get just one and it be wrong.
Alice and Rose came barging in the door while I was enjoying the quiet.
"Did you do it?" Alice asked.
"Did he freak?" Rose questioned.
"I didn't tell him yet." I answered.
"Tell who what?" Jacob asked as he walked through the door with Lauren.
"I am going to tell Edward I'm late." I laughed.
"Be-lla?" He whined.
"What?" I asked innocently.
"Don't you think that is a little cruel?" Jake asked. "I mean I am usually all for your bitchy ways, but don't you think it is going a little far? Have you even considered his feelings?"
"I think this is great idea!" Lauren said coming to my defense. "Do you have any idea how many girls he has fucked and forgotten? He deserves some payback."
"See." I said as I waved my hand towards Lauren.
"I think it's a bad idea too." Alice chimed in. "I think there's feelings on both of your parts that you're going to ruin."
"I do not have feelings for Edward." I scoffed.
Jake raised an eyebrow and I glared at him in warning.
"Whatever, Bella. I'm just stating now that I think you're playing with fire." He said.
"Well, I like it hot." I joked.
"Oh Jacob, leave her be." Emmett said as he came through the door. He threw his arm around my shoulders as he sat down on the bed next to me. "I think it could be fun to watch Edward freak out."
"Yeah, he thinks he's the ultimate jokester. Let's see him top this one." Jasper laughed while Alice growled at him. I smiled widely at all of them. In the morning my plan would start.
I woke up in the morning later then I had panned on. I took a quick shower, dressed, grabbed my books for class and headed to see Edward before I went to class.
I took a deep breath before I knocked on Edward's door. I waited for a second after I knocked and Jacob answered. Great.
"Last chance, Bella. Don't do this." Jake whispered.
"Go to class Debby Downer." I said shoving him out of the doorway.
"I still think it is going to come back to bite you in the ass." He said in my ear as he passed me.
I ignored him and walked into there room. I closed the door and saw Edward shoving his books into his bag. "Oh, hey Bella." He greeted me once he saw me.
"Hey, can I talk to you for a second?" I asked.
"Yeah. What's up?"
"I'm late." I blurted.
"Me too. I fucking over slept." He said while he finished up shoving his books in his bag.
"No. I mean I'm late." I was trying to bite back my laugh as he agreed with me.
"Well, then hurry and maybe you will make it." He said looking confused. Good God he's dense.
I sighed and let my head fall backwards. "You are not making this easy for me."
"What the hell are you talking about?" He asked.
"I don't really know how to explain it to you. You said your brain malfunctions when you hear the word period." I said then looked at him pointedly.
His face lost all emotion and he looked suddenly pale and looked like he was about to throw up. Bingo! Now he get's it.

What the fuck did she just say?
"Okay, well now I have to get to class." She said and turned for the door.
"What...um, okay, uh…no…wait!" I rambled.
"Yes?" She turned back slightly.
"Are you telling me you're pregnant?" I asked once I could think again.
"No. I'm just saying I'm late."
"So, you could be? You have to help me out. I'm a guy; I don't know anything about this shit."
"I am saying I am late. And basically that is all I know. So now you are caught up." She said looking amused, which was pissing me off. "Now I really have to go to class, before I'm late for that too."
With that she was flying out the door. I was left just staring at the door dumbstruck. What the hell was I suppose to do now? I know one thing for sure. I am never drinking again.
"How you doing there daddy?" Emmett laughed when I walked into there room after school was done for the day.
"Unless you want to die today I would not ever call me that again." I growled. It fucking figures they already know.
"This is your own doing." He laughed. "Don't you carry condoms with you?"
"Yes asshole, but I was so drunk I don't remember anything from that night."
"What are you going to do now?" Jasper asked.
"I don't even know what I am supposed to do." I answered. "The weird thing is, is Bella seamed like it was more funny then a serious issue."
"Girls are weird." Emmett said. Rose who was sitting next to him slapped him upside the head.
"How is she not freaking out?" I asked Rose.
She shrugged and said, "I know she was at first."
The next two weeks went buy slowly. Every time I would see Bella I would ask her if she found anything out yet and she would basically blow off the question. She wouldn't give me a definite answer.
Once I went to the park to watch parents with there children. I thought maybe if I saw fathers playing with there babies it might make me realize I wanted a baby myself.
That didn't work at all. I just felt like a weird stalking pervert. And every time I saw a baby I didn't get that "I want to be a daddy" feeling. I still feel like a twenty year old freaking out at the prospect of my whole life changing without my permission.
I was sitting at my desk reading a couple of book I had bought. Jacob was lying on his bed doing homework. I was skimming through the pages of the book just becoming more and more grossed out.
"Holy fuck. There is a mucus plug? That doesn't sound normal." I said out loud to myself, gagging at the thought and the mental image that came along with it.
"What the fuck are you reading?" Jake asked.
"Pregnancy books. This shit is just gross. I am so glad I am not a woman."
"Why are you reading it?" He questioned.
"Bella is pretty much ignoring me and I wanted to know what she is going through so I figured I would just read about it."
"Did Bella tell you out right that she is pregnant?" He asked.
"All she has said is that she is late. And that was two damn weeks ago. Every time I ask her about it she just says she doesn't know anything."
Jacob sighed and ran his hands over his face while he sat up in the edge of his bed. "You know Bella is my best friend and I love her to death, but she is doing something I told her I don't agree with."
"What are you talking about?"
"You and Bella never had sex." He blurted.
I paused for a minute trying to get my brain to function. "We didn't have sex?"
"No. You tried but…you couldn't get it up in your drunken condition."
"So that means it's not my baby." I said.
"There is no baby." He answered.
"Oh, Jesus." I sighed. "I don't know what is bothering me more, the fact that I thought I was going to have a baby or the fact that I couldn't get it up."
Jacob snorted and rolled his eyes. "Look I am only telling you because I thought you should know the truth before you became excited about the idea of having a baby. I told Bella she was playing with fire and not to do it."
I grew a mischievous smile and said, "Well, my motto has always been fight fire with fire."
"Oooh, damn it. No, no, no. I didn't tell you so that you could mess with her."
"A little revenge never hurt anybody." I laughed.
"It's going to. It's obvious you guys like each other. Don't do this." Jake pleaded.
"I don't think Bella is capable of liking someone. And she started this. I'm just going to end it."
"Well, I have done my good deed and now I am out of it. Good luck to you both."
"Thanks. She is going to need it." I laughed.
Jake sighed and threw himself back on the bed.
"Who all knows about this?" I asked.
"Everyone." He stated.
"Everyone? Even my brothers?" I asked amazed.
"Yes. Them and Lauren were with Bella. Me and Alice told her not to not to do it. And Rose never really gave an opinion."
"Well I will have to deal with them after I deal with Bella. She's going to learn who the master of this game is."
